On plagiarism and bad taste

[kianspo]

I wanted to use my 'I'm not amused' icon, but then realised that, in point of fact, I am amused. At the dawn of days, before I built a house and planted a tree in the screwed up wonderland that is LJ, I was using FFN for posting my stories and reading stuff. For a while, I did both, but then my computer and FFN's new layout decided they hated each

I would report this to stop_plagiarism ASAP.

And hey, you are AWESOME. One of my favorite authors for this pairing, in fact. And I LOVE "What Friends Are For" - even if it is rather OOC shameless H/C. It's really really well-written rather OOC shameless H/C, so at least give yourself credit for that!

So I absolutely judge this Gandalf person for plagiarising in the first place, and also for plagiarising from a fandom that has a lot of crossover with the plagiarised fandom in question - but I can't fault his/her taste, at least! :D

I'm not big on reporting crap, and TBH, I caouln't be assed to do the required text analysis or something. I just thought it was funny.

rather OOC shameless H/C

Actually, I think that's the nicest way anyone has ever described it. :D I like it, I might steal it right off ya. ;)

Hey You are awesome and i really like that story i made friends with you with that one!!!

i remeber i said that your Spock was a little off because he has not self esteem, but really it was good on the story and i still love it!!

And i hate plagiarism i saw it a lot in art a lot of my artist friends have this problem all the time ;___;

If i don't hate ffnet so much because i don't understand it ( i only go there when there is no other alternative) i have no user name so i don't have one to ask to ban the chick

I think if they picked another story, I might have been upset... maybe. This one? Makes the whole thing hilarious. :D

Well, my dear friend, you are the THIRD one that I know, that suffer of plagiarism in ffn. Tsk. Annoying? Yep. Bad taste of the copycat? Have my doubts; I couldn't find ANY of your fics was it bad written...and rhat's no flattery -Vulcans don't use it. So, let me see what I can do, because is no the first time i declare war to copycats, mwahahaha...
Nartayalar terayan.

Actually I don't think it's even the first time for me, but I don't remember what it was the last time and frankly, I don't care. This one just amused the hell outta me. :)

OMG, I can´t believe it!
I mean, needing praise that bad? Where´s people´s pride? Where´s self respect?
But, well, it´s very common. Take a popular fic, change fandom and be a humble author when praised. It seems the recipe works for some people. Let´s pity them.*shakes head*

[kianspo]

Well, to be fair, sometimes people do that subconsciously. But yeah, probably not this time.

*stern look* kianspo, darling, we've talked about this...

"What Friends are For" was a brilliant story written by a brilliant writer, of course the idiot with no scruples, yet exceptional taste, would want to copy it!

I do so hope you reported the bastard?

BTW: You've brought the following cheesiness and purple prose on yourself, don't say I didn't warn you this would happen the next time you doubted your extraordinary talent:

Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent. ~Eleanor Roosevelt

I DID NOT BRING THIS HORROR ON MYSELF! YOU'RE JUST EVIL!

All I wanted was a sympathy laugh, what the hell is this, JJ? I know you're frustrated with me at the moment, 'cause I'm a slacker, but really, this was totally uncalled for! x_X

*sobs* My eyes, my poor eyes...

[jaylee_g]

I take it we're past this whole self-doubt thing? Good. Lesson learned. Just remember, it's because I love you that I have to punish you when you're being naughty. ;-)

[kianspo]

Um... I didn't know you were into that sort of thing... Should I bring my own restraints? ;)
